August 18, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the kind welcoming! @Mace you most certainly need to visit Ireland, you will love it!
August 18, 20205 yr Good luck, Bandit and enjoy your stay. Looking at your avatar pic, it appears that you race karts... yup.. you're crazy enough to fit in well 🍻 I'm still on FSX:SE so the only way I'll experience a realistic looking Ireland in the sim is to purchase the photoreal add-on until such time as I get a new PC and OS Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

August 18, 20205 yr "Flight Bandit" is a pretty neat handle. Mine comes from the Royal Maces, a fighter squadron in the USN (VFA-27). I have always wondered this about Cork -- I have an atlas that has it spelled two ways, "Cork" and "Corcaigh" or something like that. I assume the latter is the Gaelic or something? Is that name used, too? Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
August 19, 20205 yr Welcome aboard! The area around Donegal EIDW looks great in the sim! I flew EIDL-EGAE retracing my steps that I did by car 9 years ago and it’s really bang on.

Is that name used, too? A fighter Squadron is pretty awesome! You are correct, funnily enough I get asked that quite a bit. It's a shame, its our native language but very few people can speak Gaelic fluently. Cork is down the south of Ireland. we have a great flight school in Cork! 6 hours ago, regis9 said: Welcome aboard! The area around Donegal EIDW looks great in the sim!

I initially built my PC 4 years ago for "sim racing" but flying has always been my passion!

August 19, 20205 yr Just realized that I assigned Donegal EIDW rather than EIDL, oops!

Hello Ireland. I too have aerofly fs2 2. Did you fly VR with it? It's an excellent sim as well.

I liked Aerofly FS2 but got bored quite quickly but it's great entry level into the sim flying world! pity its development is quite slow!
September 1, 20205 yr I finally bought mega scenery earth's Ireland, so I'm looking forward to more VFR trips over there. I'm sure I downloaded a Garda paint job for the Flight1 Islander too. Behave yourself, Flight_Bandit.. I noticed that there is a scenery add-on called Cork X - I presume its the airport.
